In the 21st century, architects are exploring more with form and materials. These architects go against Adolf Loos’s judgement on ornamentation with the use of wasted material, labor, and money. Although these architects are creating a need for a change in form, are they able to justify going against Loos’s theory on why ornamentation is unnecessary? Frank Gehry and Zaha Hadid are two architects that are able to represent their need for extravagant forms and materials and give reasoning behind…

Hlaváč, et. al.,[9] studied the use of abrasive water jet cutting of titanium and a titanium-niobium alloy. Hlaváč, et. al.,[9] compared experimental results with values from an earlier derived theoretical model. This earlier model studied the interaction between abrasive water jets and the material being cut using the limit values…

Reconnaissance Systems Officer and transported more fuel than the A-12 (“Creating the Blackbird”, 2014). The SR-71 was faster than a 0.5 caliber sniper bullet during a 75 nanometer radius turn. The airframe, which was made of ninety-three percent titanium, supported the strength of stainless steel, a proportionately light weight, and was durable at the excessive temperatures, which represented that the aircraft’s leading edges of the airfoil were greater than 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit (“Creating…

Benefits in Medicine and Agriculture. Radioactive gold nanotechnology has shown anti-tumor properties towards breast, lung, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, pancreatic and prostate tumors. (Katti, 2016) Gold, silver and titanium dioxide nanoparticles can be utilised in agriculture. Titanium oxide nanomaterials improve crop yield and germination. Silver nanoparticles can add antifungal and antimicrobial coatings to plants including their seeds, and wood. (Sadeghi et al.,…

As a young teenager, every difficulty I faced, whether I fought with my sister or the hairdresser chopped off two inches instead of one, felt like a challenge I would never overcome. By the time I left eighth grade, I realized that these seemingly life-altering difficulties were insignificant. I attribute this realization to November 12, 2012, the day I underwent scoliosis surgery. Scoliosis, the curvature of the spine, is a hereditary disease common in females. Prior to my surgery, I was…

In the article “Are Kids Too Coddled” published in The NY Times, November 23, 2013 by Frank Bruni, he poses the question “Are kids too coddled?”. Bruni believes that “tougher instruction not be rejected simply because it makes children feel inadequate, and that the impulse to coddle kids not eclipse the imperative to challenge them” (Par. 10). Bruni also talks about how kids aren’t always going to be protected and that they will be unprepared for life if they are taught that everyone is always a…

is used as a unit of pressure. 1atm is also equal to 101325Pa, the more common unit of pressure. Submersibles, small vehicles designed to operate underwater, have a thick titanium pressure sphere. This is because the immense pressure at depths below 2,000m can crush air spaces within humans, killing them instantly. The titanium pressure sphere ensures that the tons of pressure do not crush the submersible in the deep ocean. Another problem that the organisms face in the deep ocean is maintaining…
